Austin Miller –North Hagerstown High School-Family Center Parent(s) – Angie Wilcox Hometown – Hagerstown Nominated by Kim Dudley DISCUSSION: N/A FISCAL IMPACT: N/A CONCURRENCES: N/A ALTERNATIVES: N/A ATTACHMENTS: Student Summary AUDIO/VISUAL NEEDS: N/A Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland Agenda Report Form Youth Meritorious Award Summary for: Austin Miller North Hagerstown High School Nominated By: Kim Dudley Parent(s) – Angie Wilcox Kim Dudley endorsed the following: In March 2019, Austin was referred to and began attending the High School credit program at the Washington County Family Center. He was referred by Konner Pruett, Guidance Counselor at North High. Austin, then a 12th grade student, was at risk of not graduating because he was having a difficult time juggling the responsibilities of being a working teen parent of a four month old son while attending traditional school. Through Austin's participation in the High School Credit Program he was able to complete his remaining requirements to earn a high school diploma and graduated in June 2019. During his time in the program, Austin was a positive male role model for other young parents by demonstrating nurturing parenting practices and interactions with his son. On May 30, 2019 during the Center's graduation celebration, Austin was recognized for his commitment to and continual presence in his son's life and was presented with the Father Involvement Award. Through personal achievement, hard work and father involvement, Austin has begun laying the foundation that promotes positive impacts for his son's lifelong well-being.

The Commissioners have the option to take action to either approve or deny the request after the public hearing closes or deliberate on the issue at a later date. REPORT-IN-BRIEF: Application is being made to amend several sections of the Zoning Ordinance to address uses associated with alcohol production facilities. DISCUSSION: The alcohol production industry has begun to evolve from just a manufacturing use into an interactive customer experience through educational demonstrations, facility tours, and sampling areas to promote their products. This evolution has created new opportunities for smaller businesses to create niche economies that provide unique experiences for consumers. The purpose of these amendments is to update the ordinance to consolidate and streamline the definitions for different types of alcohol production facilities and where they should be located. Alcohol production facilities are proposed to be permitted in the Rural Business (RB), Business General (BG), Industrial Restricted (IR), and Industrial General (IG) districts and special exception uses in the Agriculture Rural (AR), Environmental Conservation (EC), Preservation (P), Rural Village (RV), Residential Transition (RT), Residential Suburban (RS), Residential Urban (RU), Residential Multi-family (RM), Business Local (BL) districts. Farm based Alcohol Production Facilities are proposed to be permitted in the AR, EC, P, and RB districts and special exception uses in the RV district. This item was presented to the Washington County Planning Commission at a Public Information Meeting held during their regular meeting on August 5, 2019. It was then brought back for recommendation at the September 9, 2019 meeting, where the members unanimously recommended approval of the proposed text amendments with comments. Changes requested by the Planning Commission are addressed in the attached proposed text amendments document.

I� :� ��� Washington County DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & ZONING COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING j LAND PRESERVATION I FOREST CONSERVATION I GIS RZ-19-005 August 5, 2019 WASHINGTON COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE STAFF REPORT AND ANALYSIS ARTICLES 3, 11, 12,14,28A Proposal: Application is being made to amend several sections of the Zoning Ordinance to address uses associated with alcohol production facilities. Staff Report: Alcohol production facilities are not a new land use to Washington County. However, the location and marketing of such uses continue to evolve. Historically, these types of uses were characterized as being similar to any other beverage manufacturing and/or bottling facility. But more recently the alcohol manufacturing industry has begun to evolve from just a manufacturing use into an interactive customer experience through educational demonstrations, facility tours, and sampling areas to promote their products. This evolution has created new opportunities for smaller businesses to create niche economies that provide unique experiences for consumers. The purpose of these amendments is to update the ordinance to consolidate and streamline the definitions for different types of alcohol manufacturing facilities and where they should be located. Analysis: As alcohol production facilities and State required alcohol manufacturing licenses have continued to evolve, the County has attempted to accommodate these uses in the Zoning Ordinance. In 2012, the County took its first action toward incorporating new types of alcohol manufacturing uses into the Zoning Ordinance. At that time wineries and breweries were defined and listed as principal and special exception uses in several districts based upon the type of State alcohol manufacturing license. Farm wineries and breweries as well as limited commercial wineries and breweries were defined and included in various commercial, industrial, and rural districts in the County. Over the last several years new types of manufacturing licenses have been approved by the State legislature. They include pub -breweries, micro -breweries, and distilleries. As mentioned previously, changes were also made to existing manufacturing licenses to change regulations regarding the sale, distribution, and manufacturing processes. Because this industry continues to evolve, the proposed amendments are being offered to help consolidate and streamline the definitions and permitted locations for alcohol production facilities as a whole rather than associate the uses with specific manufacturing licenses that are subject to change during each legislative session. 100 West Washington Street, Suite 2600 j Hagerstown, MD 21740 1 P: 240.313.2430 1 F: 240.313.24311 TDD: 7-1-1 WWW.WASHCO-MRNET To consolidate the definitions of the various types of alcohol production facilities a new definition is being proposed to -cover all types of alcohol manufacture. There is also a new definition proposed to allow for farm -based facilities in the rural areas of the County similar to how they are permitted currently. Because of the consolidated definitions, proposed amendments also include streamlining the zoning districts in which these types of uses shall be permitted. In this case, alcohol production facilities are proposed to be permitted as follows: • Principally Permitted. In the urban area the use shall be principally permitted in the Business, General (BG), Industrial Restricted (IR), and Industrial, General (IG) districts. By allowing the use in these districts they shall also be principally permitted in the Planned Business (PB) and Highway Interchange (HI) zoning districts through cross references. In the rural areas, these uses shall be principally permitted in the Rural Business (RB) floating zone district. • Special Exception Use. In the urban area the use may be permitted as a special exception in the Business Local (BL) district. In the rural areas the use may be permitted by special exception in the Agriculture Rural (AR), Environmental Conservation (EC), Preservation (P), and Rural Village (RV) districts. Farm -based alcohol production facilities are proposed to be permitted as follows: Principally Permitted. Because of the agricultural component of the farm -based facility definition, the use is only permitted in the rural area zoning districts of AR, EC, P and RB (Floating Zone). Special Exception Use. Even though the definition requires an agricultural component to the facility operation, the use is proposed to be a special exception use in the Rural Village (RV) zoning district. While rural villages are located primarily in the rural areas, they have characteristics that include a denser residential presence than other rural area throughout the County. The potential for a manufacturing/commercial type use to lie within a close proximity to existing residential areas prompted the decision to allow these uses through a special exception process. Staff Recommendation: Based upon feedback and comments from other government agencies, developers, property owners, and the general public, Staff recommends approval of these amendments in order to provide consistent implementation of our land use policies and regulations. Respectfully submitted, �f Jill L. Baker Deputy Director This is an excerpt of the approved Planning Commission minutes for August 5, 2019. WASHINGTON COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING August 5, 2019 The Washington County Planning Commission held a public information meeting and its regular monthly meeting on Monday, August 5, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. at the Washington County Administration Building, 100 W. Washington Street, Room 2000, Hagerstown, MD. Commission members present at the meeting were: Clint Wiley, Denny Reeder, BJ Goetz, Jeremiah Weddle and Ex-officio County Commissioner Randall Wagner. Staff members present were: Washington County Department of Planning & Zoning: Stephen Goodrich, Director; Jill Baker, Deputy Director; and Debra Eckard, Administrative Assistant; Washington County Department of Plan Review & Permitting: Ashley Holloway, Director; and Lisa Kelly, Senior Planner. PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING RZ-19-005 – Alcohol Production Facilities Text Amendment Staff Presentation Ms. Baker presented a proposed text amendment to the Washington County Zoning Ordinance for Alcohol Production Facilities. She noted that the Zoning Ordinance currently contains uses for farm wineries, commercial wineries, limited commercial wineries and farm breweries, commercial breweries and limited commercial breweries. New legislation from the State of Maryland includes distilleries as another type of alcohol production facility being offered through the manufacturing licenses. The proposed amendment will help consolidate and streamline the definitions and permitted locations for alcohol production facilities as a whole rather than associate the uses with specific manufacturing licenses that are subject to change during each legislative session. Farm based alcohol production facilities will require the use of ingredients that are produced on the site. Ms. Baker briefly reviewed the areas throughout the County where these types of alcohol production facilities would be permitted. Regular alcohol production facilities would be a special exception use in the rural areas including the A(R), EC, P and RV districts and inside the growth area in the BL district. They would be a permitted use in the BG, IR, and IG districts. The farm-based alcohol production facilities would be permitted in the A(R), EC, P and RB zoning districts and a special exception use in the RV zoning district. Public Comment • Dan Spedden, President of Hagerstown/Washington County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, 41 Mealy Parkway, Hagerstown – Mr. Spedden stated that wineries, breweries and distilleries are currently very popular in the travel industry and becoming very commonplace in the cities. He noted that the tourism economy in Washington County is a $260 million market annually with the number one business being the food and beverage industry. Mr. Spedden believes these facilities will enhance the economy in Washington County. • Selena Wilkes, Elmwood Farm Bed and Breakfast, 16311 Kendall Road, Williamsport – Ms. Wilkes stated that Elmwood Farm is located in a residential area; however, she believes that an alcohol production facility would be an added benefit as an accessory use to her business and would boost This is an excerpt of the approved Planning Commission minutes for August 5, 2019. tourism and economic development in the County. She expressed her opinion that the alcohol farm-based production facilities should be permitted in the residential areas as a special exception use. • Nathan Kraft, 5513 Mt. Carmel Church Road, Keedysville – Mr. Kraft supports the proposed text amendment. He owns a 42 acre farm (Pathfinder Farm) on which he would like to grow crops and produce alcohol for sale. He expressed his opinion that wineries, breweries, and distilleries should be a special exception use in residential areas. He believes that people want an “experience” rather than going to a store. • Kevin Atticks, Grow and Fortify, 1950 Far Out Lane, Sparks – Mr. Atticks stated that there is incredible growth and diversification in the tourism industry. He noted that the majority of visitors are coming from more than one hour way. Mr. Atticks gave two suggestions for the proposed text amendment. First, he believes there should be a path (i.e. special exception) that would allow these facilities in any zoning district; there should not be any zoning districts excluded. Second, he believes there should be a provision to allow off-site production and discussed various factors that could contribute to a producer needing the resources of others. Mr. Atticks briefly discussed the issue of sensitive crops being sprayed from adjacent properties. He believes that all property owners have the right to use all of their property and education of all agricultural crop producers would be the key in avoiding harm to other property owners’ crops. Mr. Atticks is opposed to any buffers being implemented. • Jason Divelbiss, 11125 Bemisderfer Road, Greencastle – Mr. Divelbiss believes the alcohol production facilities would be an economic benefit for the County. He expressed his opinion that these types of facilities should be permitted in the urban area residential zoning districts as a special exception. The special exception process would provide a way to make sure the property is appropriate for this type of use. He pointed out that the urban area residential zoning districts already allow for several commercial uses by special exception. Mr. Divelbiss noted that many residential properties will not be able to attain a State alcohol manufacturing license. Discussion and Comments Mr. Weddle asked members of the audience questions about growing grapes and the life expectancy of grapes. He expressed his concern with regard to spraying crops (i.e. soybeans) on adjoining properties and the harmful effects these sprays (Dicamba) could have on grapes. Mr. Atticks noted he has talked to the Farm Bureau regarding these concerns and strictly from a land use perspective, the proposed text amendment is concentrating on the land use and not the specific type of crops that can be grown. Mr. Weddle expressed his opinion that these problems will arise in the future and he believes now is the time to address them. He believes that there should be mandatory setbacks associated with the more intensive operation. Placing the setbacks on a soybean farmer would create a hardship for that farmer. Mr. Atticks responded that a limitation such as this would “unilaterally give deference to existing grain farmers over new agriculture”. Secondly, this discussion is on a commercial product (Dicamba) being sprayed which is part of a national controversy because of its propensity to drift and kill everything around it. Ms. Baker stated that while she understands Mr. Weddle’s concern, it is her opinion that setbacks would have to be placed on all agricultural properties, not just new agricultural uses. Setbacks would be based on the type of crop you are growing each year and there would be no way to monitor or enforce this type of regulation. • Yvonne Ford, 12840 Red Heifer Winery Lane – Ms. Ford noted that regulations have already been established by the Environmental Protection Agency regarding this issue. This is an excerpt from the approved Planning Commission minutes for September 9, 2019. WASHINGTON COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING AND PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING September 9, 2019 The Washington County Planning Commission held a public information meeting and its regular monthly meeting on Monday, September 9, 2019 at 6:30 p.m. at the Washington County Administration Building, 100 W. Washington Street, Room 2000, Hagerstown, MD. Commission members present at the meeting were: Clint Wiley, Denny Reeder, David Kline, Jeremiah Weddle and Ex-officio County Commissioner Randall Wagner. Staff members present were: Washington County Department of Planning & Zoning: Stephen Goodrich, Director; Jill Baker, Deputy Director; Travis Allen, Comprehensive Planner; and Debra Eckard, Administrative Assistant; Washington County Department of Plan Review & Permitting: Ashley Holloway, Director; and Lisa Kelly, Senior Planner. RZ-19-005 Alcohol Production Facilities Ms. Baker reminded Commission members that a text amendment to the Washington County Zoning Ordinance was presented at the August 5th public information meeting. Proposed amendments include Articles 3, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 28A for Alcohol Production Facilities. Discussion and Comments: Mr. Wiley expressed his opinion that the alcohol production facilities should be allowed in residential areas as a special exception use. Other commission members agreed. Ms. Baker asked if the Commission would like to establish bulk requirements [i.e. setbacks, lot sizes, lot widths, etc.] for these facilities. If specific bulk requirements are not established, there is a category within the Zoning Ordinance that would apply to these types of facilities. Commission members were not inclined to add specific bulk requirements. Motion and Vote: Mr. Reeder made a motion to recommend approval to the Board of County Commissioners of the staff’s draft text amendments with the inclusion of the residential districts as a special exception. The motion was seconded by Mr. Kline and unanimously approved with Commissioner Wagner abstaining from the vote.

They are intentionally broad, defining "alcohol production facility" —rather than winery, brewery, distillery, cidery, meadery; or specific classes of state -issued licenses —in an effort to avoid the need for future revisions when new alcohol producer segments develop. 1) Alcohol Production Facility: An establishment for the manufacturing, packaging, storage, promotion and sale of alcohol beverages produced by a state -issued license holder, which may include an on -site tasting room(s) for the production and sale of products as licensed. 2) Farm Alcohol Production Facility: An establishment on agricultural land for the manufacturing, packaging, storage, promotion and sale of alcoholic beverages produced by a state -issued license holder utilizing ingredients produced on an associated farm, which may include an on -site tasting room(s) for the promotion and sale of products as licensed. 3) Tasting Room: An area on the site of an Alcohol Production Facility or a Farm Alcohol Production Facility in which guests may sample and purchase for on- or off -premise consumption goods produced by the license holder and other related novelty or gift items.

I also wish to provide additional information for the discussion. In response to the county's comments on the new draft, I would ask for your consideration of the following items: 1) Applicable Zones. Through our experience around the state, we have found alcohol production facilities to be successfully —and appropriately —located in all manner of zones, from manufacturing and industrial, to commercial and residential. We respectfully urge you to consider creating a path to approval in all zones, while adding whatever protections you deem appropriate (i.e., conditional use, special exception, variance). 2) Sales of products. Our state laws have evolved to allow manufacturing flexibility, enabling a licensee to flex some of its production (often within specified limits) to another location. For example, a small brewery that has excess demand one of their beers could produce that beer at a neighboring brewery who has larger capacity. We urge your consideration to allow an alcohol licensee to market all products it produces, not just those produced on -site. This is extremely common in the wine, beer and spirits production industries,. and is not restricted in other jurisdictions_ Thank you for your consideration of our suggestions, and for your continued support of our alcohol and farm -based alcohol industries.

IN GENERAL A. Use of the term "alcohol manufacturing" implies a large-scale operation rather than the more common smaller scale production facilities. B. Therefore, use of the term "alcohol production facility" would be more appropriate. 2. IMPRACTICAL TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN TYPES OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES; JUST HAVE TWO (2) TYPES OF FACILITIES A. Alcohol Production Facility: A production facility or establishment for the manufacture of alcoholic beverages by a state -licensed distillery, winery, rectifier, or brewery. i. Should not include the additional activities such as storage and bottling due to the risk of aparty taking the position that ALL such activities are required in order to meet the definition. B. Farm -Based Alcohol Production Facility: An. Alcohol Production Facility located on any parcel of land that has an agricultural use assessment as determined by the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation. i. Analogous to the existing definition of "Agricultural Operation". i, Existing definitions for Farm Brewery & Farm Winery, as well as the proposed new definition of "Farm Distillery" contain the following statement, indicating an intent to treat the use as an Agricultural activity: "shall be considered a bona fide and normal agricultural activity and an agricultural land management activity". iii. Requiring use of the ag. products grown on site in the alcohol product process disregards the risk of: (i) changes in State regs. that could limit or prohibit their use for some reason; (ii) success i.e, production outgrowing the scale or character of the on -site ag. products; (iii) markets i.e. could be cheaper to buy the raw materials to be used in production; and (iv) seasonal or other unexpected damage or impacts to on -site ag. products that could prohibit their use. 3. DON'T CONTRADICT THE PARAMETERS OF THE STATE LICENSING REGS. i. Extent of accessory uses will be determined by licensing regulations and parameters; 1. For example: a. Class 7 "Micro -brewery License" may brew and bottle, contract to brew and bottle, store finished product, enter into a temporary delivery agreement to deliver beer to a festival, etc, and there are limitations on production, on -sale and off -sale privileges, hours & days of operation, etc. b. The proposed new definition for a "Limited Commercial Brewery" only specifically references the ability to conduct tours, have tasting areas, have accessory food sales, etc, and places a limitation on the area for tasting and food sales to 25% of the area being used for manufacturing and bottling. c. Why create the potential for conflict between the State and local reps? ii. Extent of accessory uses will also be limited by the standard definition of "Accessory Use" in the Zoning Ordinance i.e. a use customarily incidental and subordinate to the principal use. iii. Specifically, 25% area limitation is arbitrary, discourages growth and ignores the fact that practical circumstances should dictate. 4. POSITIVE ECONOMIC BENEFIT TO WASH. CO. A. Alcoholic production facilities in Maryland and across the country are increasingly stimulating tourism, nontraditional agricultural activity, and positive economic development & revitalization efforts. B. Therefore, use should be permitted liberally wherever appropriate: By right in BG, RB and IG, as proposed, but also in the IR; ii. By Special Exception in the Ag. Districts (A(R); EC; P; and RV) and BL, as proposed, but also in the Residential Districts (RT; RS; RU; and RM) similar to the manner in which the following commercial uses are permitted in those same districts: 1. Professional offices; 2. Beauty parlors & Barbershops; 3. Nursing Homes; 4. Medical & Dental clinics; 5. Golf courses && country clubs; 2 6. Bed & Breakfast, 7. Banquet & Reception facilities a. In the RS, RU, and RM„ the following additional uses are permitted by Special Exception: i. Clubs, lodges & fraternal organizations; ii. Nursery Schools or child care centers; iii. Although perhaps not necessary to specify, should also be allowed as an accessory component of any restaurant, tavern, liquor store, or other food - service type establishment such as banquet/reception facilities or clubs, Iodges & fraternal organizations (Redman CIub or PFGC) Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland Agenda Report Form Open Session Item SUBJECT: First Quarter Adjustments to the Washington County Board of Education’s FY2020 General Fund Budget PRESENTATION DATE: November 12, 2019 PRESENTATION BY: Mr. Jeffrey Proulx, Chief Operating Officer, Washington County Public Schools and Mr. David Brandenburg, Executive Director of Finance, Washington County Public Schools RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the requested first quarter adjustments to the Board of Education’s FY2020 General Fund Budget. REPORT-IN-BRIEF: The Annotated Code of Maryland requires local school systems to periodically re-forecast their financial needs and make necessary changes to their budgets. To that end, the Washington County Board of Education approved the attached list of changes to its FY2020 General Fund Budget at its November 5, 2019 meeting. DISCUSSION: Several of the changes that the Board of Education approved on November 5, 2019 cross major categories. Therefore, these requested adjustments must also be approved by the Board of County Commissioners. The Board of Education has asked its Finance staff to review the requested budget changes with the Commissioners and answer any questions that they may have. FISCAL IMPACT: None. These proposed modifications merely adjust the budget to allow for proper categorization of revenues and expenses. CONCURRENCES: The Board of Education’s Finance Committee reviewed the proposed adjustments at their meeting on October 29, 2019, and recommended them for approval by the full Board. The Board of Education unanimously approved these changes at their November 5, 2019 meeting. ALTERNATIVES: None ATTACHMENTS: Proposed first quarter budget adjustments for the Washington County Board of Education’s FY2020 General Fund Operating Budget.

PRESENTATION DATE: November 12, 2019 PRESENTATION BY: Susan Small, Director, Department of Business Development and Dr. James Klauber, President, Hagerstown Community College RECOMMENDED MOTION: Approve reallocation of Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) grant funds previously awarded to Washington County, MD in the amount of $37,500 to Hagerstown Community College’s FY20 ARC grant application and approve the use of Hotel Rental Tax of $37,500 to help meet the 50% match requirement. REPORT-IN-BRIEF: The Washington County Department of Business Development is asking the Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, MD to approve the use of the unused Appalachian Regional Commission grant, along with Hotel Rental Tax (50% match) for a total of $75,000 for the sole purpose of Job Profiling services by Washington County, MD employers. The use of ARC grant funds will match our contribution of Hotel Rental Tax funds dollar to dollar, maximizing the funding available for local businesses. DISCUSSION: Hagerstown Community College received preliminary approval to proceed with a formal application from the Appalachian Regional Commission for a grant in the amount $57,000 (with requires local match of $57,000) to conduct Workplace-Based Assessments to Meet Employer Needs. Washington County, MD, was previously awarded a $75,000 Appalachian Regional Commission grant for website enhancements that due to changes in scope was de-obligated and held for future projects. The Washington County Department of Business Development is seeking approval to reallocate the Washington County, MD grant in the amount of $37,500 to increase Hagerstown Community College’s request from $57,000 to $94,500 and meet the 50% match of $94,500 in the following manner. Appalachian Regional Commission = $94,500 grant funds Match requirements/sources: Hagerstown Community College = $57,000 (private funds and foundation) Washington County, MD = $37,500 (Requesting allocation from Hotel Rental Tax) Total Project = $189,000 FISCAL IMPACT: $37,500 from the Hotel Rental Tax for economic development projects. Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland Agenda Report Form CONCURRENCES: Director, Office of Grant Management ALTERNATIVES: Deny reallocation of Appalachian Regional Commission funds for this project or consider a contribution from Hotel Rental Tax only.

REPORT-IN-BRIEF: Each year MALPP asks counties if they want to obligate funds to the 60/40 match portion of the Land Preservation Easement Program. Land Preservation staff is recommending that Washington County designate $325,000 as its 40% local match in order to receive the 60% State match of $487,500. The commitment requested today will result in total funding of about $1,612,500 for easement purchases in FY 20 (including approximately $800,000 of general allotment funds that all counties receive). Agricultural Transfer Taxes collected each year are restricted for use in preservation programs and are not General Fund dollars. DISCUSSION: For clarity sake, State funding contributions to the Ag Preservation Program result from the following distributions. The entire MALPP fund is divided in half. One half is divided equally among all Maryland counties which will result in an FY 2020 “General Allotment” of approximately $800,000 for each County. The remaining half is divided among only those Counties that make local commitments to the 60/40 matching program and is used for the State’s 60% contribution. The County may add General Funds dollars to its 40% match which would result in additional matching funds from the State and an increase in the total amount available for easement purchases. FISCAL IMPACT: This 60/40 match commitment and General Allotment money results in funds for land preservation easement purchases on 4 farms. There are no General Funds involved. CONCURRENCES: The Agricultural Land Preservation Advisory Board has endorsed the use of the above funding source for the 60/40 match. Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland Agenda Report Form ALTERNATIVES: Make no commitment to the matching program; or commit further funding to the 60/40 match through the use of County General Funds. ATTACHMENTS: N/A AUDIO/VISUAL NEEDS: N/A Open Session Item SUBJECT: KB Farm Properties, LLC Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) Easement proposal PRESENTATION DATE: November 12, 2019 PRESENTATION BY: Chris Boggs, Land Preservation Planner, Department of Planning & Zoning RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the KB Farm Properties, LLC CREP easement project, paid for 100% by the State, in the amount of $57,700.80 for 20.00 easement acres, to adopt an ordinance approving the purchase of the easement, and to authorize the execution of the necessary documentation to finalize the easement purchase. REPORT-IN-BRIEF: The KB Farm Properties, LLC property is located at 12633 Unger Road, Smithsburg, and will protect 2.72 acres of woodland serving as stream buffers and 17.28 acres of pastureland and hayland. This easement will serve to buffer roughly 1,900 feet of Grove Creek. The farm is located in the Priority Preservation Area (PPA), and lies along historic Unger Road. Washington County has been funded to purchase CREP easements on over 1,100 acres of land since 2010. The KB Farm Properties, LLC easement will serve to both protect Maryland waterways, as well as preserve the agricultural, historic, cultural and natural characteristics of the land. DISCUSSION: For FY 2020, the State of Maryland is awarding CREP grants to eligible properties on a project by project basis. Following County approval, the application will be submitted for State funding approval. FISCAL IMPACT: CREP funds are 100% State dollars. In addition to the easement funds, the County receives up to 3% of the easement value for administrative costs, a mandatory 1.5% for compliance costs and funds to cover all legal costs and surveys. CONCURRENCES: DNR staff approves and supports our program. A final money allocation will be approved by the State Board of Public Works. ALTERNATIVES: If Washington County rejects these State funds for CREP, the funds will be allocated to other counties in Maryland.

ORD-2019-___ AN ORDINANCE TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF A CONSERVATION EASEMENT UNDER THE MARYLAND CONSERVATION RESERVE ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM (CREP) (Re: KB Farm Properties, LLC CREP Easement) RECITALS 1. The Maryland Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program ("CREP") is a federal- State natural resources conservation program that addresses state and nationally significant agricultural related environmental concerns related to agriculture. 2. CREP provides financial incentives to program participants to voluntarily remove cropland and marginal pastureland from agricultural production in order to improve, protect, and enhance water quality in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and replacing it with the best management practices including establishment of riparian buffers, grass plantings, forbs, shrubs and trees, stabilization of highly erodible soils, habitat restoration for plant and animal species, and restoration of wetlands. 3. Protection is provided through the acquisition of easements and fee estates from willing landowners currently holding a fifteen (15) year CREP contract and the supporting activities of CREP Sponsors and local governments. 4. For FY2020, the State of Maryland (“State”) is awarding CREP grants to eligible Counties (the "CREP Funds"). 5. KB Farm Properties, LLC is the owner of real property consisting of 20.00 acres, more or less, (the "Property") in Washington County, Maryland. The Property is more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto. 6. The County has agreed to pay the approximate sum of FIFTY-SEVEN THOUSAND, SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS AND EIGHTY CENTS ($57,700.80), which is a portion of the CREP Funds, to the Property Owner for a Deed of Conservation Easement on the Property (the "KB Farm Properties, LLC CREP Easement"). 2 OF 3 THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland that the purchase of the KB Farm Properties, LLC CREP Easement is approved and that the President of the Board and the County Clerk be and are hereby authorized and directed to execute and attest, respectively, all such documents for and on behalf of the County relating to the purchase of the KB Farm Properties, LLC CREP Easement.

Open Session Item SUBJECT: Battery Storage Projects – Payment in Lieu of Taxes Agreements (PILOTs) PRESENTATION DATE: November 12, 2019 PRESENTATION BY: Stephen Wiley, Innolith Snook LLC RECOMMENDED MOTION: Motion to authorize the execution of the proposed PILOT agreements. REPORT-IN-BRIEF: This presentation is follow-up to the prior presentation on September 10, 2019. In 2016 the Board of County Commissioners approved PILOT agreements for three utility scale battery storage projects proposed in cooperation with the Hagerstown Light Department, one project by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) and the other two with Alevo USA. Customized Energy Solutions, Ltd., provided consulting and operations support. Only the MHI project, subsequently assigned to Alevo, was built. Alevo went bankrupt before constructing the other two projects. Innolith Snook LLC has acquired the existing project and seeks to revive the other two projects as well. DISCUSSION: Since first proposed in 2016, the introduction of utility scale batteries has progressed slowly in the U.S. and the rest of the world as regulatory and economic structures designed without consideration of such a technology continue to be reformed. Innolith expects that eventually the global market for utility scale batteries will become very large and thus is willing to build projects now that have lower profit margins in order to gain experience and refine designs in anticipation of selling many more batteries, not just in the U.S., but globally, including places such as China and India that have under-developed electric grids or in nations with aggressive renewable energy goals. Therefore, given the generally slim profit margin that the projects are expected to earn, Washington County’s 2.37% business personal property tax is significant. Additionally, given the capital-intensive nature of these projects where the batteries and related equipment cost millions of dollars and are all considered “business personal property (BPP),” any BPP tax is comparatively more significant for such a project than for the average business in which only a relatively small portion of the start-up costs is considered BPP. Md. Code Ann., Tax-Property Article, provides authority for the County to enter into a negotiated payment in lieu of taxes on personal property owned by Innolith in this circumstance. The Code further provides that publicly owned property leased or otherwise made available to a person with the privilege to use that property in connection with a business that is conducted for profit shall be taxed as though the lessee or user of the property were the owner of the property. Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland Agenda Report Form FISCAL IMPACT: PILOT payments that would otherwise not be received and the placement of certain property into a taxable status. No expected opportunity cost since the project locations are either adjacent to existing electric substations owned by Hagerstown Light Department or on property otherwise reserved for such use, and thus minimal likelihood of any other business locating taxable assets at such locations. CONCURRENCES: None ALTERNATIVES: Forgo the opportunity presented by the projects and the PILOTs ATTACHMENTS: BOCC Meeting Minutes dated June 7, 2016, and September 10, 2019 and PowerPoint presentation AUDIO/VISUAL NEEDS: PowerPoint description of projects by presenters desired EXCE RPT #1: Boa rd of County Commissioners OPE N Session Meeting M inutes dated June 7, 2016 BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF WASHINGTON COUNTY Hagerstown, Maryland June 7, 2016 BATTERY STORAGE PROJECTS PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAXES Attorney Jason Divelbiss and Bill Schofield, Vice President of Corporate Development, Customized Energy Solutions, Inc. (CES) appeared before the County Commissioners to discuss the proposal to bring a 2 megawatt batte1y storage project to Hagerstown in cooperation with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) and two additional projects totaling 10 megawatts in cooperation with Alevo Energy. Mr. Schofield discussed the project to build battery storage centers on city-owned property at three different electric substations and provide 12 megawatts of on-demand energy capacity. Stored power from the project would help regulate the energy grid with increased efficiency and decreased emissions. Instant energy would be supplied during high demand periods and energy would be stored during lower demand times. The proposed scope of projects are: I)4 megawatt, 30 minute duration project by Alevo located at the Hagerstown Light Department's (HLD) Fairgrounds substation; 2)60 megawatt, 30 minute duration project by Alevo located at the HLD's Wesel Boulevard substation; and, 3)2 megawatt, 15 minute duration project by MHI located at the HLD's Marty Snook Park substation near the City ofHagerstown's wastewater treatment facility. CES is requesting approval of a payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) due to the capital- intensive projects that provide a low profit margin. The County's business personal property tax would be waived the first three years of a ten-year lease with the City of Hagerstown, with seven discounted yearly payments throughout the remainder of the initial lease term. The Commissioners discussed the proposal including the fact that the projects would be built on property that cannot be developed and will never be taxable. The City of Hagerstown previously endorsed the projects. Commissioner Cline, seconded by Keefer, moved to authorize the execution of the proposed Payment in Lieu of Taxes agreements with Customized Energy Solutions, Inc. as presented. The motion passed unanimously. (4-0, Commissioner Barr was absent.)

REPORT-IN-BRIEF: In 2017, Governor Hogan authorized five years of Capital Bond Bill funding totaling $7.5 million for the Urban Improvement Project. The County has received the application packet for the third year of funding in the amount of $500,000. Once the application is submitted the State will provide a grant agreement to the County for review and execution.

Downey, County Attorney Open Session Item SUBJECT: Construction Bid Award – Back Road PRESENTATION DATE: November 12, 2019 PRESENTATION BY: Scott Hobbs, Director, Division of Engineering RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to award the Back Road contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, Lantz Construction DBA Building Systems of Hagerstown, Maryland, in the amount of $1,913,175 for the base bid plus add alternate 1 and 2. REPORT-IN-BRIEF: The project was advertised in the Herald Mail, on the County’s website, and on the State of Maryland’s website, e-Maryland Marketplace. One (1) bid was received and opened on Wednesday, May 8, 2019. FEMA has been reviewing eligible costs on the project for several months since the bid opening. The bids have been evaluated and the low bid is in order. The engineer’s estimate for the work is $1,750,000. DISCUSSION: South County experienced significant flooding and damage to numerous roads and structures in May 2018. This road was severely damaged and has been closed since the flooding. The project involves the reconstruction of the road, shoulders, culvert; and stream restoration. This is a design-build contract with a 300 consecutive calendar day contract. The anticipated Notice to Proceed is in November 2019 with a scheduled completion in the summer of 2020. The bid documents include Liquidated Damages in the amount of $500.00 per calendar day for work beyond the completion date. The road will continue to be closed for the project duration. FISCAL IMPACT: There is available budgeted funding in the Back Road Culvert 11/03 (BRG086) and Stormwater Retrofits (DNG039) projects in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), and FEMA reimburses eligible costs currently estimated at $368,000 on the project. The Hoffmaster and Harpers Ferry project (DNG077) is covering local costs for the South County flooding projects along with funds received for direct administrative costs. Final costs and reimbursements for the flood event will be determined upon completion of the projects. CONCURRENCES: Budget and Finance (Fiscal Impact) ALTERNATIVES: This is the most cost effective and practical alternative to reopen the road. The road was severely damaged in the flooding.

Open Session Item SUBJECT: Minimum Wage Analysis PRESENTATION DATE: November 12, 2019 PRESENTATION BY: Sara Greaves, Chief Financial Officer, Rachel Brown, Director, Human Resources RECOMMENDED MOTION: For consideration to establish an approach for the FY2021 budget and future years. REPORT-IN-BRIEF: Commissioner Meinelschmidt requested the County’s plan of action to address the minimum wage legislation through FY2025. The CFO presented options for discussion on October 15, 2019 and was directed to bring back certain information. DISCUSSION: The current minimum wage is $10.10 per hour. Maryland law makers passed legislation to raise minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2025 through incremental yearly increases. Current legislation Below is the required minimum wage changes per Maryland legislation. $10.10 Current $11 on Jan. 1, 2020, 9% increase $11.75 on Jan. 1, 2021, 7% increase $12.50 on Jan. 1, 2022, 6% increase $13.25 on Jan. 1, 2023, 6% increase $14 on Jan. 1, 2024, 6% increase $15 on Jan. 1, 2025, 7% increase Previously discussed options Option 1 – Increase entire scale by 49% Estimated Cost - $30 million Recommended – No Option 2 – Create new scale and restructure employee classifications Estimated Cost - $10-15M Recommended – No Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland Agenda Report Form Option 3 – Move employees to closest step on scale who fall below stated minimum wage Estimated Cost - $2M Recommended – For discussion Option 4 – Provide annual COLA’s of 2% to increase entire scale; plus, over the five year period phase out Grades 4 and 5. Estimated Cost - $8.75M Recommended – For discussion NEW - Option 5 – Increase all employee wages by the same amount of the minimum wage increase. Estimated Cost - $10.2M Recommended – For discussion as a result of commissioner request. This option would eliminate the current wage/step scale that the county utilizes which includes 8% between grades and 2.5% between steps. This methodology would eliminate a standardization between grades and steps. Staff would not recommend this option. Current New Diff Hours per year Annual FT Emp Column1 $10.10 $11.00 $0.90 2080 $1,872.00 800 $1,497,600 $11.00 $11.75 $0.75 2080 $1,560.00 800 $1,248,000 $11.75 $12.50 $0.75 2080 $1,560.00 800 $1,248,000 $12.50 $13.25 $0.75 2080 $1,560.00 800 $1,248,000 $13.25 $14.00 $0.75 2080 $1,560.00 800 $1,248,000 $14.00 $15.00 $1.00 2080 $2,080.00 800 $1,664,000 FT Cost $8,153,600 PT Cost (option 3) $2,000,000 Total $10,153,600 NEW – Option 6 - Provide an annual COLA of 1% to increase entire scale; plus, over the five year period phase out Grades 4 and 5. An “In the middle” approach between options 3 and 4 was directed to be brought back. Estimated Cost - $4.4M Recommended – For discussion While the above option represents a middle of the road approach as requested, there is concern over it being associated as a result of the minimum wage legislation. Wage history since 2010 shows step increases in four of those years, COLA’s in four of those years, and no action in three of those years due to financial constraints. With current step structure of 2.5%, It is prudent to offer a 1% COLA annually, even outside of the minimum wage discussion. It would be a best practice to provide both a step and COLA annually to maintain scale alignment and reward employees outside of the minimum wage discussion. Economic Development – Comments from the Chamber of Commerce What will private sector do to address minimum wage legislation? There may be a variety of ways that local business could react to the legislation which include; 1) raising prices to consumers; 2) reducing employee benefits; 3) reduction in working hours; 4) laying off employees; 5) increasing use of technology; 6) relocating business to other locations that have a lower minimum wage; 7) reduction in owner salary; 8) delay or cancel expansion plans; 9) close the business. Other County Responses Through research, we have discovered that similarly situated counties have not yet discussed an approach for moving forward. However, they have stated that they anticipate COLA adjustments on their entire scale or a separate part-time scale to meet the requirement. They have yet to discuss with their county executives or commissioners funding mechanisms for these COLA’s. Considerations Stability is an important component of County employment. Through the recession, the County was able to retain all employees at the same pay and benefit levels, unlike other private business or governments that may have laid off employees or enacted furloughs. This was due to conservative planning from our predecessors. It has provided a valuable lesson in that long term sustainability relies on conservative spending and flexibility of reserves. During those difficult years, capital reserves were drawn down to support the County when revenues decreased. Many economists predict that a decline or recession is in our near future, in the next 1 to 3 years. It is difficult to predict when it will occur. The uncertainty that comes with the 2020 presidential election may also impact the economy and business decisions. In addition, known factors such as Kirwan and solutions for Fire & EMS issues are currently being discussed for funding. Steps are programmed to be provided to existing personnel each year at 2.5%. By fiscal year 2025, existing employees will have received step increases totaling 12.5% over what they make today. The below chart represents the number of employees under minimum wage, including 2.5% annual step. All positions represent part time employees except 1. Year Min Wage 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2020 11.00$ 155 2021 11.75$ 181 169 2022 12.50$ 326 242 181 2023 13.25$ 369 342 342 325 2024 14.00$ 381 378 371 342 342 2025 15.00$ 440 414 386 381 374 369 The County provides a rich benefit package to employees, including affordable health insurance and pension plans. These benefits, on average, equate to approximately $9.86 per hour based on an average wage of $56,485. Closing Remarks Minimum wage is a mandate that the County must provide for. The County has been proactive in thinking about this legislation and the impact on both employees and local business. Thoughtful consideration of both County employees and the County as a whole is of utmost importance.

REPORT-IN-BRIEF: FY2019 year-end summary will be provided. DISCUSSION: The County ended the year in an overall positive manner, increasing fund balance in the General Fund by $3.8 million. This positive net change provides for the County’s cash reserve policy requirement at 17.92%. Major Revenue Factors:  Property tax revenue exceeded budget by $1.0 million or 0.8%.  Income Tax revenue exceeded budget by $2.8 million or 3.4%.  Revenue from speed cameras came in under budget by $2.5 million or 4.9%.  Investment income was over budget by $1.5 million. Major Expenditure Factors:  An additional transfer over what was originally budgeted of $2.8 million was made to the Golf Course, Highway, and Capital Projects funds to offset operating shortfalls and to provide for future project costs and one time expenditures.  General Fund departments came in under budget by $2.1M.  The OPEB payment was not made due to the trust’s funding ratio exceeding 100%, which reduced expenditures by approximately $0.6 million.  An additional appropriation was required for the County’s health reserve of $0.6 million due to an increase health care costs and use.

REPORT-IN-BRIEF: Highway Department maintenance responsibilities have increased while equipment, manpower resources, and capital investment have not. Adjustments within the Highway Department organization are needed to adapt to current challenges and future expected trends. The proposed adjustments are anticipated to provide assistance with operational efficiencies while creating internal opportunities for career development. DISCUSSION: The Highway Department has an FY20 $11.5 million operations and $500 thousand capital budget, 88 full time employees that maintain County roads, stormwater facilities, sidewalks, signs and pavement markings, provide fleet services, manage inmate crews, and responds to emergency road conditions on a 24 hour/ 7 day week basis. Since 2009, the total miles of road maintained increased from 850 to 895, stormwater ponds 50 to 150, while the number of full time employees reduced from 92 to 88, and the Highway User Revenue declined from a peak of $9 million per year to the present $870 thousand. As a representative example of a challenge and problem to solve, the County has 43 plow trucks with an average age of 13 years with 32 that meet the Vehicle/Equipment Replacement Guidelines requirements. A minimum of 33 trucks are needed to cover the winter snow removal routes zones. Each route requires 4-6 hours to complete a single pass. Replacement of these 33 vehicles alone represents an initial investment of $7 million and future reoccurring annual investments of 4 per year or $1 million to sustain the fleet, however, projected capital contributions only allow for 1-2 vehicles per year. Projections show as the County continues to grow and develop, the number of road miles will increase, while stormwater management, bike and pedestrian facilities will grow exponentially as new Federal and State laws require those facilities. Environmental regulations and reporting that did not exist 10 years ago now consume a greater amount of staff attention and time to perform the same task. The Highway Department must adapt to the trend and efficiently manage available resources to provide expected services while remaining compliant with current regulations. A vacant non-exempt Grade 13 Section Supervisor position that focused on crew level supervision in the Central Section is proposed to be reclassified to an exempt Grade 16 Supervisor of Operations position. The new position will assist with managing the Department from an organizational and work planning prospective, regulatory compliance, serve in the absence of the Deputy Director, and allow Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland Agenda Report Form for continuous 24/7 supervisor management during weather and crisis incidents. In the current structure there are four Grade 13 Supervisors in the Central Section which leads to redundancies particularly in the mowing season as crew resources are further split. A vacant full time Grade 6 Motor Equipment Operator (MEO) I position is proposed to be divided into two Seasonal MEO I positions. During the 2018 salary study all MEO I employees with Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDL) were upgraded to the MEO II position with the exception of one employee who didn’t have a CDL and has since retired. This position can be more fully utilized as two seasonal positions during the summer months when there is additional need for laborer tasks such as flagging, tree removal and trimming. The positions will be based in the Central Highway Section, but used where needed across the County to supplement existing crews to provide sufficient resources to appropriately balance the labor needed for the work activity. The seasonal positions are effectively used elsewhere in the County as entry level positions for candidates who may not have the experience/qualifications of higher level positions or individuals who desire to only work part of year in construction. The overall personnel adjustments are intended to capitalize on operational efficiencies across the department and provide resources and expertise at the appropriate levels.

REPORT-IN-BRIEF: EA was awarded the contract to design the new Northern Pump Station at location previous determined by the County. Once the plans were 90% complete, the easement documents were prepared and appraisals were completed for the pump station lot and easements. When the owners of the pump station lot reviewed the appraisal, they discovered that the entire parcel was located within the 100 year floodplain. They were upset that the parcel was located within the floodplain and decided not to sell the County the land needed for the pump station lot and associated easements. At this time, the County contacted Mr. Hoffman who owns the property to the south. Mr. Hoffman has agreed to sell the County the land needed for the pump station lot and associated easement. The pump station will be located approximately 2,000feet from its previous location thus requiring major design changes. For more detailed information regarding the design change, please refer to EA's proposal dated October 25, 2019. Increase contract amount by $158,979.80.

Subject: Washington County Pump Station Upgrades EA Proposal No. 0791316A Dear Mr. Bradshaw: EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Inc., PBC (EA) is pleased to offer this proposal to the Washington County Department of Water Quality (the County) to provide additional engineering design for the Washington County Pump Station Upgrades project. EA will continue to engage team subcontractors Fred Seibert and Associates (FSA) for survey and forest stand delineation effort, ECS Mid-Atlantic, LLC (ECS) for geotechnical evaluation, and Dhillon Engineering, Inc. (DEI) for electrical, mechanical and structural design support. Previously, EA completed 30% and 60% design submittals and related permitting effort for the project, in accordance with the original Scope of Work (September 2018). Prior to submittal of the 90% design, EA was informed by the County that due to land acquisition issues between the County and a private property owner, an alternate location was necessary for the proposed New Regional Pump Station. EA presents this proposal for revised scope (Task 4) based on the 11 September 2019 request for proposal provided by the County, and site visit to updated pump station location in Washington County on 26 September 2019. In addition, EA has included additional design effort that was required as part of this project (Task 5). SCOPE OF WORK This section of the proposal includes EA’s detailed project approach for performing the revised scope of work. Task 4 – Revised Scope Task 5 – Extra Work Task 4 – Revised Scope The EA team will develop 90% and Final (100%) Contract Documents based on the revised scope provided by the County, including updated pump station location and revised forcemain and gravity main routing. Mr. Bradshaw, Washington County Pump Station Design 25 October 2019, Page 2 Subtask 4.1 – Pre-Design As a part of this task, EA and its subcontractors FSA and ECS will:  Prepare subdivision plat and request exemption from the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) for subdivision of the parcel for the updated pump station on the Hoffman property south of Cearfoss Pike, including preparation of an exhibit and easement plat, and attendance at one BZA meeting. The County has assumed responsibility for negotiations with property owner and obtaining property owner signature for the BZA affidavit.  Prepare easement documents for sewer lines at locations noted below, based on revised routing of forcemain and gravity main. Revised easement plats will be signed and sealed by a Maryland licensed surveyor. The County has assumed responsibility for easement negotiations with property owners. o Hagerstown Soccer Club area (Revise Prepared Easement) o Grace Academy (Remove Prepared Easement) o Hoffman Properties (Revise existing CREP easement for re-routed gravity main; Prepare New Easement for new gravity main abutting existing CREP easement; Prepare access easement for updated pump station location) o Eby Property (Prepare New Easement) o Bostetter Property (Revise Prepared Easement)  Perform all necessary survey work to establish property and easement boundaries and identify utility crossings for revised pump station location and revised forcemain/gravity main routing, including roadway right-of-way widths. Survey effort will include field- run topo in rights-of-way, supplemented with LIDAR outside the rights-of-way as necessary.  Provide subsurface exploration and geotechnical evaluation in the vicinity of the updated pump station location, including collection of three soil borings extended to 25 feet below existing surface and final report. Due to shallow boring refusal on bedrock anticipated in this area, a five-foot core of the bedrock will be completed at two of the boring locations, with the third boring extended to the full depth of 25 feet via rock coring, as necessary. Lab testing for collected borings will include natural moisture tests, gradation analysis, Atterberg Limits, and up to one proctor. Subtask 4.2 – Design Design effort at the updated pump station location will include:  Pump station re-design, including pump station enclosure with integral suction lift pumps, verification of pump sizing based on revised forcemain routing, site layout and grading, and erosion and sediment controls. o Upgrade to existing access driveway, including re-paving utilizing existing SHA approved entrance to the property, with new stone access driveway after crossing of existing culvert. EA assumes no additional permitting effort necessary to complete driveway upgrades. o Electrical conduit routing for power at updated pump station location.  Routing of approx. 2,900 LF of additional 15-inch SDR 26 PVC Heavy Wall gravity main from 60% Design Manhole S-1 to revised pump station location, including 8-inch stubs at all new manholes. Mr. Bradshaw, Washington County Pump Station Design 25 October 2019, Page 3  Re-routing of approx. 7,200 LF of forcemain from revised pump station location to connect at 60% Design forcemain location on Bostetter Property at approx. STA. 72+00. Subtask 4.3 – Design Documents EA anticipates the Design Documents will include:  Drawing Set with approximately 75 sheets, based on 60% Design Sheet List. Sheets requiring significant revision due to updated pump station location include:  Maugans Meadow Pump Station – Sewer main routing for approx. 2,900 LF of additional gravity main to updated pump station location  New Regional Pump Station – Re-routing of approx. 7,200 LF of forcemain  New Regional Pump Station Building (revised as needed)  New Regional Pump Station Electrical/Controls (revised as needed)  Basis of Design Report  Technical Specifications  Engineer’s Cost Estimate Subtask 4.4 – Permitting As a part of this subtask, EA will:  Prepare and submit MDE Non-Tidal Wetlands and Waterways Joint Permit Application for construction in wetlands and floodplains, and temporary disturbance at waterways. Updated pump station location and re-routed sewer main will require revisions to JPA and related documents developed during 60% Design.  Revise Forest Stand Delineation (FSD) and Forest Conservation Easement Plat for relocated New Regional pump station and sewer main re-routing, as necessary, and recalculate forest conservation requirement. EA assumes offsite mitigation on County’s Cascade property will continue to be feasible. Detailed level-of-effort considerations include: 1. Design drawings, Basis of Design Report, Technical Specifications and Engineer’s Cost Estimate developed in the 60% Design will be utilized as basis for revised scope. 2. EA assumes updated pump station location will be adequate for the proposed package pump station enclosure, and able to accommodate parcel up to 150 ft x 150 ft. 3. EA assumes updated pump station location is not located in the floodplain, and therefore no additional hydrologic nor hydraulic modeling will be necessary for the JPA or other State or County permits. 4. Additional design effort for new electrical service at updated pump station location is excluded. EA assumes electrical service will be provided at the site by electrical utility. 5. This Scope of Work excludes additional design effort for stormwater management Task 5 – Extra Work This task includes additional design effort that was completed at the direction of and based on discussion with the County, during previous design submittals. The primary scope changes that occurred during the pre-design, 30% and 60% design milestones are described below. Mr. Bradshaw, Washington County Pump Station Design 25 October 2019, Page 4 1. Revised forcemain and gravity main routing and revised and/or additional easements as necessary, including:  Re-routing of forcemain through Bostetter Property and new easement, based on agreement between County and private property owner;  Extension of gravity main in Cedar Lawn area and revised easement, for coordination with County’s future design and construction of McCleary Hill subdivision (by others);  Re-routing of gravity main in Maugans Meadows area, based on conditions field- verified by County 2.

Open Session Item SUBJECT: Install sewer prior to Hagers Crossing paving their new entrance onto McDade Road. PRESENTATION DATE: November 12, 2019 PRESENTATION BY: Mark Bradshaw P.E, Deputy Director, Engineering Services RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to award a contract to Huntzberry Brother, Inc.in the amount of $40,800 to install 240 feet of forcemain prior to paving Hagers Crossing new connection to McDade Road. REPORT-IN-BRIEF: The developer for the Hagers Crossing project has started construction on the next phase of their project. The phase they are working on now includes installing an entrance onto McDade Road that includes an accel and decel lane. The total length of new paving is approximately 215 linear feet. The contractor is planning on paving the new street entrance this fall. The forcemain for the Capacity Management Project is designed to be on the same side of the road as the new entrance to Hagers Crossing is being installed. I requested a price proposal from the on-site contractor, Huntzberry Brothers Inc, to install the forcemain prior to performing the paving. By having the contractor install the forcemain prior to paving, we will eliminate expensive pavement repair if we wait to install the forcemain after the paving is completed. DISCUSSION: N/A FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are budgeted in the Department of Water Qualities’ Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) account (LIN042). CONCURRENCES: Director, Division of Environmental Management ALTERNATIVES: Wait and include this work in the Capacity Management project when it is advertised.

PRESENTATION DATE: November 12, 2019 PRESENTATION BY: Mark Bradshaw P.E, Deputy Director, Engineering Services RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to award a contract to Fayetteville Contractors Inc. (FCI) in the amount of $160,336.00 to install gravity sewer under MD 144. REPORT-IN-BRIEF: The Department’s Capacity Management Capital Improvement Project (CIP) includes extending the gravity sewer from the McCleary Hill project. The terminal manhole being installed for McCleary Hill, on the South side of MD 144, will be installed exit lane at the right-of-way line. The County needs to extend the gravity from this manhole under MD 144 westward toward US 40 were it will connect with the new forcemain being installed from the Maugansville area. To install the sewer under MD 144, a casing must be jack and bored under the roadway. Jack and boring requires a launching pit to be excavated to install on McCleary Hill side of MD 144. The launching pit would need to be 38’ long by at least 12’ wide and 18’ deep. To perform this work after the McCleary Hill project is completed would be very costly and a inconvenience to McCleary Hill contractors and residents. The exit land would need to be closed for a minimum of 2 weeks and would require extensive restoration to pavement only one (1) year old. To reduce the cost associated with installing the sewer under MD 144, the County requested a price proposal from FCI to perform this work. FCI is the utility contractor for the McCleary Hill project and will being installing the sewer associated with this project.
